Cultural "Christianity" and the Emergent Church (FS) [3of4]

[rofyle]

I see stereolabdream commented a year ago, and so has no doubt forgotten his words. I wonder though if he truly believes his argument. He says we must develop our own morality, and yet he calls Shaeffers hateful. Already hes abandoned his claim to relativism, and has appealed instead to objectivity. I wonder as well, who shall decide his attempt at morality is faulty? Will he appeal to objectivity again when another calls his view faulty?

I'm afraid Schaeffer is correct in his description of the develoment of the existential view of the innerancy of the bible...but thank goodness for that! Morality can, and must develop, but not on the basis of Schaeffer's paternalistic deity- created as the product of a time and place-expressing some laudible ethical paradigms, but also many that are hateful. Our dignity and intelligence require us to create our own morality-however flawed the attempts may be.
